CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 3 1'. =This capital has been, since the evening of the 28th, in a state of the greatest consternation. Sultan SELIM wished 'to es!ablish the authority of the Porte, and to keep a well-paid standing army on toot. It was this which occasioned his tall on the 28th May, 1807. MUS TAPHA. BAIRACTAR, Pacha of iludscl - iuck, - a man of the hes:. intentions, proposed a plan for re-establish i'ng.that which the 28 t h of May had destroyed. He came to Constantinople with a corps - of trusty troops, caused the famous KAVAGKYLOGLOU, Commandant of the Castles of the Dardanelles, and chief author' of conspiring against Sultan Skaam, to be beheaded, the Mufti and all the new Ministers of the Sultan MUSTAPHA to be deposed, the Aga of the Janissaries to be.strangled, and the most .important posts of Constantinople to be occupied by his troops. The Grand Vizier, the new Mufti, and several other Members of the Divan, declared themselves the par tizans of MUSTAPHA BAIRACTAR. The Sultan had no suspicion : of his projeta ; on the contrary, he thought himself so secure, that on the Bth inst. he repair'ed in the morning to lieseetach. but the Sultan' Mother having got intorination of it on the 2e,tli, MitsTAigiA 2V. returned with all ex pedition by sea to the Seraglio, whilst the Pacha of Rudschuck was •entering it by land. The Pacha caused the new Mufti to inform. him that SELIM only was lawful Emperor.' MUSTAPIIK, far from following the example given on the f.),86 of May by his uncle SELIM, who voluntarily descei2ded froth the throne, ordered the inner gates of the Seraglio to be shut. . The soldiers of the , Pacha, howver, speedily effe&ed an entrance, but they found the 'unfortunate SELIM 'dead, and covered with blood. Seized with horror at this speCtacle, MUSTAPHA. BAIRACTAR 'and the Grandees of :the Porte, caused Prince MAHOMET, the last branch of the reigning dynasty, to be immediately- proclaimed Emperor. This Prime, who is about 15 years of age, has, for the last fifteen. months, been confined -With the Sultan SELIM, who during that space instrueted him in the art of Government. - - On ae 29th the unfortunate Str..liq was buried at Your, by the side of his lather. The Pacha of Rudichuck, the whole of his army, and all the re speCtable inhabitants of this capital, attended the. funeral During these melancholy occurrencos, the public tranquillity was not in the slightest' de gree interrupted. The greater part of the assassins of SELIM have been executed. We know not whe ther the deposed Sultan is still living. Some people 'assert . that he has been strangled. MUSTAPHA Bat- BACTAR has taken possession of the Grand Seal. The Grand Vizier is a prisoner in his camp for hav ing revealed to the Sultan Mother the plan of re placing SLUM on the throne. There is no doubt that t,ie Pacha will soon be appointed Grand Vizier. Eleven of the p;incipal partizans of the Sultan MUSTAPHA were this daw strangled in the seraglio, The Kislar-Aga (chief of euwichs),who assisted in the mi.lrder of SELIM, was executed on.tiie Zgt h.

Last night Paris aiid Mack Papers reached Town, the former to the 28th ult. and the latter to the 4th The warlike preparations of Austria still con- inst. tinue, and an order has been issued in Vienna, ta,all the inhabitants of the suburbs, that emery family must furnish. a certain number of persons to work On the fortifications. It is stated, however, with considerable exultation in these papers, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has acknowledged JUSEPEI NAP .

A grand Ball was given on the 21st, at the Hotel de Ville, ;at Paris, to BUONAPARTi, with the whole of his illustrious. fa mily. 'WE have been censured in a Morning Paper, be cause, in adverting to the reports of a new Revolu tion in Turkey, we observed that it was likely to produce consequences favourable to this CoUntry, by renewing our commercial relations in that quarter; and we are taxed with an indifference to. the proper interests of humanity, because we endeavoured to hold forth the prospeBs of advantage - to ourselves, rather than give way to lamentations on the dis 7 asters with. which the event alluded to is said to. have been attended. But the insecurity of the Turkish Government is so well known, that it would be almost as absurd to whine 'leer its oc casional misfortunes, as to express surprise that they should have occurred. The previous Revolution in that uncertain Government was notoriously the resuit'of French intrigue and the unappeasable ani mosity of the French Tyrant against this Country.— The deposed GRAND SIGNIOR was generally con sidered as having a favourable - disposition towards Great Britain, and therefore it was,rptural for us to hear with regret of . the subversion of his authority. The new Revolution is probably founded upon very different grounds from those which occasioned his re moval from the Throne, and hence we have reason to hope that French artifice and perfidy will not stand in the way of a restoration of amicable connexions between tiis country and the new Turkish Govern ment. Is it not wiser, therefore, to look -to probable advantages than to lose our time in unavailing con dolence-? Wt admire those tender-hearted' moralists who can feel so much dejection at the loss of men who were in the interest of the French Emperor, the most detestable character on the earth, ;Ind who as - sislcd his tbinions in subverting tbelr own GOveyn ment. Such men, whatever may be the number who Were sacrificed, can be no loss to the world, and every real friend to humanity mugt rejoice in seeing the French interest decline, not on account of any benefit which may be - obtained by any par- ticular State in consequence of such a decline, but because French interests are only promoted for the worst purposes of ambition and rapacity, and, are carried into effeet not only with - a total disregard of every principle of honour and humanity, but in con tempt of every thing that mankind have always held 'in reverence and esteem, • We trust that we have fully vindicated ourselves from the charge of a devo tion to hard-hearted, narrow, mercantile, principles, which one of our competitors has brought against.us; and that upon just grounds of humanity and patriot-, ism, we my attempt to derive topics of a satisfaalory nature from any diminution in the interests of a Power which only exists for the annoyance of all other States, and the oppression of its ow,n. It has been observed, in relation to the opening of. the Dutch Ports, that it is a matter of question policy, whether " we should permit au inter. course which may diminish , the pressure on the enemy, without benefiting, in any material degree, the commerce of the British Empire." But the Dutch, though placed in a hostile condition as to this country, have been compelled to adopt adverse measures against us. They would most cordially seize the opportunity of throwing off the yoke of French oppression, and renew amicable conneaions with Great Britain. When therefore any opportunity occurs, in which we may spew a friendly disposition towards our former Allies, whom we, ought not on such an occasion strictly to consider as an enemy, we are not only acting according to the diClates of humanity, but of sound policy alsQ, in laying the foundation for a full restoration of all amicable feelings, when:a change of circumstances shall happily take place. Besides, it would'be prudent to permit this intercourse on another ground, as it may tend to enlighten all places on the Continent, through the medium of Holland; as to the real state of things, respecting. which their common oppressor has been studious to keep them in ut ter darkness. We trust also that in every renewal of connexion with this Country, the several Statetof the Continent will experience that treatment which must; if possible, -. increase their anxiety to throw off the cruel bondage in which they are held by France. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's, Palace, from Windsor, where he was received by their loyal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK, KENT, and CUMBERLAND. At two o'clock t)is . MAJESTY held a Levee, whicll was attended ,by the Archbishop o Canterbury, the Bishop of Rochester, the Duke of Portland, Earl Camden, Viscount Castlereagh, Lord llawkesbury, Lord Heatntield, Lord Mulgrave, Lord Arding, and Mr. Villiers (in waiting), Major Campbell, Col. Brown, Mr. Fawkener, Mr. Ryder, Mr.' Perceval, and Mr, Canning. The following had the honour of being presented to His IVIA4sTy•: The Bishop of itoch,ster, to kiss hands on his translation to the liishoprkk of Ely. Major Campbell, Aid-de-Camp to Sir A. Wellesley, on his pt./notion, and on his return from Portugal ; and Col. Brown, on his 'return from the army in Portugal. HIS MAJESTY held a Privy Council, which urn attended by the Duke of PoRT,LAND, and the rest of the Cabi►iet Ministers, when Mr. RYDER, ihebdge- Adyocate, laid before His MAJE.STY, the proceedings of several Courts Martial. We are happy to learn that Captain - H. ELPHIN STONE, ofthe Royal Engineers, who was reported as badly wounded in the action of the 17th ultimo, in Portugal, is in a very fair way of recovery.— He received a musket-ball in the jaw, which at first. had a bad appearance, but he was doing very well when the last accounts came aw-:y, and had himself written to his family and friends, in very high spirits. In a Letter which was received from Sir CHARLES COTTON'S Fleet, off Lisbon, dated the 2 - 2 d ult. the day after the battle of Ynniera, it is stat e d th at, jiJNOT, previous to his quitting Lisbon, to meet the British army, had secured his own plunder on board the Russian Fleet ; and had sent a letter along with it, directing the , Admiral, in case he (JobtoT) should by any unforeseen accident fall into .the hands of the enemy, immediately to hoist Portuguese colours, and thereby proted both the Ships and the property frorri the hands of the Engltsh. This might no doubt. be the view of the French General, and may likewise have been accordingly executed by the Rus sian Admiral ; yet we haVe little doubt but that their hopes. are by this time frustrated, and that both the Russian Ships and the Portuguese plunder are under the command and at the disposal of England. This was, indeed, a very feeble, attempt of Jusor, to rescue by guile that which he could not 'protect by antis from the valour of his opponents. Orders have 'been issued for the formation of a Grand Depot of Artillery and Ammunition at W e e. don, in Northamptonshire, as being the most cen tral part of the kingdom. A large portion of the ar tillery will be drawn from the Southern Distrid ; and it is understood that the Depot, when formed, will be' Second only, in paint of magnitude, to the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. Lieutenant-Colonel TAYLOR, of the 20th Light Dragoons, who was killed in the battle of the 21st ult. was son of Dr. TAYLOR, 01 Reading. This 'gallantotticer, at the head of a small body of caval, ry, defeated and pursued a numerous force of the enemy, and d rove t h e i rs i nto a wood, where they were.reinforced, and rallied for a short .time, when he was shot through the heart. To Me Divan of Cairo. People of Egypt ! you will be'told that I come to destroy your Religion! Do not believe it, but answer, that I come to restore your rights, to punish usurpers, and that infinitely more than the Manaelukes I re spect God, his Prophet, and the Koran ! Tell the People we are true Musselmen : is it not we who have destroyed the Pope ? Is it not we who have destroyed the Knights of Malta, because, those enthusiasts believed that God had declared war against, the Mussel men ? .Qn board this Fleet are Russians, who abhor those who believe in the unity of God, becauSe, • according , to their fiaion, the Deity consists of a Trinity. But they shall soon see, that it is not the umbel - of Gods which constitutes their strength. What the believers in the Trinity have never been enabled to effect, has been accomplished by us, who believe that there is only one directing Power over nature and the universe ! ) The Mnsselman who embarks on board a vessel, sanaioned by the Cross, is even worse than an in fidel ! I hope that the period may soon arrive, when I shall be able to re-unite all men of wisdom and intel ligence, .and to estiblish,an uniformity of conduti, founded upon the principles of the Alcoran, which alone have any - conneaion with truth, and can pro cure the happiness. of .

To the above, may be added, That God, who sooner or latter punishes Tyrants, is nuw reversing the tide of thy success !—AMEN. NAVAL NEWS. .CoRIC., SEPT. 2.—Yesterday morning . the French National CorvetteL 'Espiegle, prize to His Majesty's Ship the Sybelle, Cir. UPTON, arrived at Cove. L'Espiegle sailed from L'Orient on the 9th ult. in company with the Sylphe Brig, of 16 guns, and La Diligente Ship Corvette, of 18 guns. On the 15th, at eight o'clock in the morning, L'Espiegle and - La Diligente were descried by the Syte/ie, and instantly , 'cliaced. At hale-past twelve o'clock, in the: follow.. ing night His Majesty's Ship came up with the enemy. The Ship Corvette, which is a. prime sailer, immediately made sail and left her Consort ; and although she was pursued as soon. as. .L'Es piegle was taken possession of, yet the Sybelle was not fortunate enough to . discover her afterwards. L'Espiegle mounted 16 guns, and had 85 men on board, commanded by Mons. MANJOTJAU, Capi taine de Negate. She threw overboard in the chace 12 of.her guns, with her boat, anchor, and several, barrels of flour. She is a fine vessel, only four years old. This was her first cruize, notwithstanding she has been "so long built. She had on board above 250 barrels of flour, and tVio battery guns, and was intended for Martinique, as well as her consorts, By means of this Vessel we have been able: to asceitain fa&s of some interest, indeed of much perior concern to•the capture of the Vessel herself. When L'Espiegle sailed, on the 9th of August, the people of L'Orient were in utter ignorance of what wai goingforward in Spain.. They looked upon the accession of JoSEpH BUoNApARTE as a matter of course to the throne of Spain, and they had not beard of any event in the smallest degree tending to interrupt that design.. There were lying at L'Orient, on the gth Wt. five Sail oc the Line and seven Frigates, all readyfor sea. It 'nay not be wholly uninteresting to remark in this place, that there is a considerable scarcity of ship timber at L'Orient ; so much so, that L'Espied gle could not be provided with the usual supply of spare spars, in the event of any casualty requiring refitment of the sort: at sea. She had no spare top-gallant masts on board. The destination, of this little Squadron, that had no sooner appeared than it was dispersed, was important to tha French Government. It was indubitably intended for Martinique, a place which, on account of the American Embargo, as well as the 'total stoppage of supplie; from the SpAntsh Islands, is in theut most distress, and cannot be relieved except by Ships cps, patched in this clandestine way. If a vigilant atittllina. paid to this condition of tl►e Ellen - I) . s West In." dian Colonies, there is little doubt but they cannot hold out, depending ❑pon such stinted and precaril ous supplies as may be brought ;iein from France.
